I write novels in Liyue

The lights of Inazuma Castle were on, but the streets were sparsely populated, and even the number of vendors had decreased significantly.

A few people were sitting busily in the teahouse opposite the Yaedo Bookstore.

They were engrossed in reading their books when suddenly one of the young men put down his book and stretched.

"What a reading feast! It's so well written. This is the kind of joy that reading novels should bring. It's getting late. Let's go home and have dinner."

The young man closed the book, whose cover read "I Write Novels in Inazuma," and exclaimed in amazement.

He read other types of novels for many days in a row, which finally helped him recover from the emotional trauma of reading "Eternal" and "Your Lie in April".

He nodded, stood up, looked around, and suddenly frowned, realizing that things were not so simple.

Why are there so few people on the street today?

Moreover, this teahouse is not only good value for money, but also close to Yaedo.

At this time of day, the place is usually almost full of people.

Why are there only a few people here today?

"What exactly is going on?"

The young man looked terrified and swallowed hard.

He vaguely remembered a book he had read before.

In the book, the Lord of a Hundred Demons, during the Demon Festival, leads the Haunted House to attack the castle tower of Inazuma Castle.

Under the attack of the Hundred Demons, almost instantly, most of the civilians in Inazuma Castle were eaten by the demons.

In the end, General Raiden also struggled against the Lord of a Hundred Demons and was even seriously injured, until Lord Yae arrived and single-handedly killed the Lord of a Hundred Demons.

Although that book has many flaws.

For example, the Lord of a Hundred Demons, whom even the Thunder General couldn't defeat, was actually killed by Lord Yae no Kami...

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that the book begins with a reader who is reading a book. He is halfway through reading and wants to go home for dinner. He gets up and sees an empty street, wondering why there are so few people.

At first, he thought the reader was the main character, but after the reader said, "There are so few people today," he was eaten by the ghost.

Just as he was filled with fear, a bald reader dressed in strange clothes sitting across from him also stood up with a look of horror on his face.

"Oh no, something terrible has happened!"

"What serious incident has occurred?"

The young man swallowed hard and asked.

Could it be that something really terrible has happened?

"The 'Your Lie in April' theme music competition seems to have started; I forgot about it while I was reading the book!"

"Oops, I forgot about that. No wonder there are so few people on the streets."

The young man suddenly realized.

"I have to hurry, maybe I can still make it. Brother, want to come along? Today is the final, and Lord Yaeguchi will be there too."

"Ah."

The young man nodded.

They rushed towards the castle tower, and by the time they arrived, the "Your Lie in April" theme music competition had already begun.

The huge plaza in front of the castle tower was packed with people.

Hundreds of soldiers from the Heavenly Command patrolled and maintained order at the scene.

The scene was quiet.

Only on the stage in the center, surrounded by a crowd, did the sound of the girl playing the harp echo around her.

I wonder if it was Lord Yaeguchi, who was sitting on the judges' panel, who used some kind of trick.

Even from this distance, the girl's harp playing could be heard clearly.

Elegant and relaxed.

The young man stared and listened blankly, as if he could see cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind before his eyes.

On a street lined with cherry blossom trees, a girl smiled sweetly at a boy.

"Friend A."

Just as the lighthearted melody reached its peak, the girl's playing suddenly stopped.

It was as if a string had broken.

Just as everyone was wondering, a sad melody began to play.

That beautiful scene transformed into a rooftop covered in heavy snow.

The girl confessed her love to the boy.

She encouraged the boy not to give up.

As the melody's sorrow reached its peak, the music transformed from sadness to relief.

The song ended.

The young man's eyes were already wet with tears, and many others in the audience were also sobbing uncontrollably, before bursting into enthusiastic applause.

"Traveler, Paimon, and the little girl from the Kamisato family, what do you think?"

Yae Shenzi asked.

"It was played so beautifully that I cried."

Paimon wiped away the tears on his little face and said, "Wendy was right, music has the power to reach the heart."

"This is partly due to the books written by Ms. Fang Qiu."

Ayaka Kamisato wiped away her tears and said, "While listening to her play just now, all I could think of were scenes from 'Your Lie in April.' However, the fact that I could resonate with 'Your Lie in April' already proves how excellent this piece is."

"Ah."

Ying nodded.

"Then, give me the points."

As he spoke, Yae no Miko turned his gaze to the rooftop terrace of the castle tower, his narrow eyes narrowing slightly, revealing a playful expression, and said.

Yae no Miko gave it seven points, Paimon gave it nine points, and Ayaka Kamisato and Hikari both gave it eight points.

The girl let out a long sigh, bowed to the audience and Yae no Miko and the others, and then turned and walked off the stage.

Next, the next contestant took the stage.

She was a mature and gentle young woman, and she played the recorder.

The Shogunate, the castle tower.

The bright moonlight streamed in from outside the building, and a woman with purple hair was sitting upright at the table.

The woman was wearing a purple kimono with gentian flowers patterned on it, and a black and gold shoulder armor on her left shoulder.

Her dark purple long hair was braided and hung down her back, the color of which became lighter towards the ends.

A beauty mark at the corner of her right eye adds a touch of gentleness and intellect to her appearance.

However, his cold and aloof expression added a touch of solemnity and detachment to his demeanor.

She closed her eyes gently, as if meditating.

With her gentle breathing, her high, firm breasts rose and fell slightly.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it a sorrowful melody.

"Ok?"

The woman opened her eyes, her purple pupils devoid of any emotion. Then, her cold eyes gradually softened, revealing a hint of tenderness.

She got up and opened the door.

On the terrace outside the door, a short-haired woman was standing.

"Kujo, what are you doing?"

The purple-haired woman walked up to Kujo Sara and asked.

"General."

Kujo Sara, who had been looking at the stage in front of the castle tower with a gloomy expression, changed her expression upon hearing Kage's voice and quickly turned around to bow.

"No need for formalities, what's going on?"

Looking at the stage in front of the castle tower, a gentle woman was playing a vertical flute on the stage.

"Reporting to the general, this is a music competition for 'Your Lie in April' organized by Yae-no-miya."

Kujo Sara said, "I tried my best to stop it, but alas..."

"It's alright."

Ying remained calm, then looked at the stage and asked in confusion, "April is your lie? What is that?"

Chapter 160 The Meteor Flying Backwards

Just as Kujo Sara was about to answer, a playful voice rang out.

"It's a book published by my company, Yaedo. Even travelers who have read it say it's great. How about it? Interested in taking a look?"

As Kage and Kujo Sara turned around, they saw a figure emerge from the darkness.

The wooden clogs made a series of clacking sounds as they stepped on the ground.

The newcomer had pink hair and wore a shrine maiden outfit with red and white as the main colors. The matching furisode sleeves were separated from the top and used as arm sleeves to secure the upper arm.

A wide black knot was tied at her lower back, revealing her fair and slender legs.

Her long, smooth pink hair was tied up at the ends and swayed gently in the wind.

Her fox ears, symbolizing her identity as a divine messenger, are always adorned with earrings inlaid with purple gemstones, and the earring on her right ear is inlaid with her lightning-attribute divine eye.

Kujo Sara's pupils contracted. She clearly saw Yae no Miko still on the stage earlier.
